Saw a CRJ captain the other day walking through the terminal in PHL with a short sleeve uniform shirt, a three inch tattoo on his forearm in plain sight, and a larger one on his bicep just showing a little.
He didn't seem too concerned about covering it up.

Do the airlines really care about this? cuz honestly if they don't I'm getting it done like next week, other wise I will hold on. I know that the military does care about this, so that's why I'm asking.
Thanks

As another poster mentioned, long sleeve shirts covering arm tats were necessary to keep the company happy. If you've just gotta have a tattoo, somewhere out of view when in uniform would be the best bet. The bottom line is, you need to make yourself more attractive to the airline than the other folks in the hiring queue.

Really? Tatoos are not allowed in Europe do not know about US, one must remove it if for the major airlines. Melu

I got my face tattoed like Mike Tyson did......then I was given the option to remove the tattoo or resign from the airline.
Worst decision of my life, I now work in a warehouse operating a fork lift.
I have had depressing thoughts wondering if my tattoo will look cool when I am an old grand pa.
